Comparison between developed inventory and EDGAR database

Abstract

We are contacting you regarding the afore mentioned article on discussion phase for publication.As part of the findings, results are compared with publicly available data from EDGAR C1 ESSDD Interactive commentPrinter-friendly version Discussion paper 4.3.2; highlighting differences between EDGAR, their inventory and national submissions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.First, we would like to inform the authors that an updated version of the 0.1 • x 0.1 • gridded EDGAR global greenhouse emission inventory has recently been releasedincluding CO2 emissions up to 2018 and non-CO2 greenhouse gases up to 2015. Data for this new release (EDGAR v5.0_FT2018) can be accessed through our website: https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/overview.php?v=50_GHG.Users can also download the "2019 Global Fossil CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Emission report" (Crippa et al., 2019) , in which the most relevant methodological aspects for emission quantification from large emitting sectors and trends for large emitting countries are described. We also expect to publish an article in the coming months; analysing the role of socio-economic transitions and GHG mitigation policies on global emission trends (Oreggioni et al.,in preparation).
